    Moto3 was excellent, great to see Miller going hard for the win, apparently he grabbed neutral which ran him wide, he certainly wasn't hesitating to stick it to young Alex though which is what he needs to do to grab the title. Such a hard class to pick a winner in with so many riders on winning pace. Go Miller for the title though, I couldn't stand to hear the commentators wanking on about "the first time ever" brothers have won GP titles in the same year...
    Yep Moto 3 was the best race for sure didn't know Miller grabbed neutral. Ah well no one to blame then??

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    I see
    Rossi: 10 Podiums
    Dani: 9 Podiums
    Lornezo: 9 Podiums (but more wins)

    So she is bloody close between them for form. Lorenzo certainly is looking good right now.

    No argument from me on any of that. Here's hoping Miller can do the deed at home, at least he should know his way around the track.

    In that free video on the MotoGP web site in which Miller demonstrates his barbecue skills(?), he says he has never ridden anything bigger than a 250 at all. Ever.
    Gonna be a shock going from 40 some bhp to 260 odd. As he said already though,"It's just two wheels and an engine." Although I can feel a Tui ad coming on.

    This could be why millers going straight to moto GP we dunno how big dad grew at his age He's 25th on the speed trap. Although he did lead for quite some time so his corners must have been faster. You know the old 10% rule. If he bets this will be the case because of his growth in Moto2 maybe he was between a rock and a hard place??

    Could be the Honda grunt though, from my observations he just keeps with the Honda's in the slipstream and has to make up for it under brakes. Where as the Honda's have a little extra to begin with so it's a tad easier for them this year.

    It seems like its swung Hondas way at the mo but KTM have had their share of being top dog.
    I didn't mind the last result cos I don't root for Miller (just cos hes an Aussie)
    I'm reserving opinion on Miller till I see more of him. (seen him being a prick a few times ).

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Danni and him are doing a road trip promo for the race at PI.






    Unfortunately Danni put it down during the promo. Little embarrassing??
    From what I can gather?? his feet don't reach the ground in a Moto Gp bike when he comes to a stop LOL

    Ironic when you're not allowed to race as a junior if you can't pick your bike up...

    Ditto for me with Miller, Gaz, not convinced...

    That's clearly a myth - think about the staring grid .. Pedrosa MUST be able to put his feet on the ground to hold up the bike before the start .. See .. like this .. Both Honda riders have feet on the ground ..

    You can call him a NZer if it helps. Born in NZ and his mum and dad are Kiwis too.

    .
    Think in an interview or a story in AMCN he said that then said apart from a GSXR1000 once. Which makes never not quite the right word to have used. But hey...he is Australian!

    I would very much doubt that, he may be a wee lad but would be in great shape due to all the training these chaps do.

    Bit embarrassing dropping the bike thoughb, can't imagine they would be easy to ride at slow speed.

    I like Miller's riding style, he certainly doesn't lay down and let the Spaniards stick it to him.

    I would love to hear someone like Marquez, Lorenzo, Pedrosa or Rossi talk about what level is "easier" to win a world title in. IE what are the crucial elements to win in Moto3/125 as opposed to Motogp. Seems to me that Motogp is a combination of luck, rider skill and overall a very good team working in harmony. In Moto3 the bikes are closer so providing the team can get the bike within .4 of the fastest chap out there, it comes down to the rider to rack up the points and get the championship.
